Well I posted this in Scramblings where I was talking about the jeep, but thought I'd put it here also to try to get an answer. Plan to paint my jeep when I start the restore (hopefully soon have the parts for the motor rebuild for the TJ now, just need to finish it so I can start the Scrambler). I don't like the current color but would like to find out what it was. Here's where I get confused. The orange looks stock, but depending on the source orange may or may not have been a stock color. The info that was from CJOffroad doesn't show it for 83, but several of the online paint places do. So I looked up the data tag and here it is.
The VIN on the data tag matches the VIN on the dash, and decodes as an 83 which is what it is titled as. However it looks like the paint code is 99 which doesn't match anything I've seen. Even looking at the trim code, it doesn't seem to match. So my question is WTF? do I have some kind of franken jeep? I am just confused and want to figure this out. Not that it will drive the color I choose, but I hate that I can't figure it out (must be the engineer in me).
